Excerpt from The Principles of Physical, Intellectual, Moral, and Religious Education, Vol. 1 of 2

There are two great classes which may be se parately defined, as possessing good or bad dis positions among the former, we may reckon the mild, amiable, kind, generous, docile, affectionate, compassionate, easily susceptible of the finer and more delicate emotions, readily wrought upon by an appeal to their feelings, and without dif ficulty, biassed towards that which is right: among the latter, may be distinguished as more frequently observable, the obstinate, unamiable, self-willed, ungovernable, proud, haughty, re vengeful, and malicious. Any one Of these cha racters may predominate as a quality Of the mental manifestations, and give its prevailing hue to all the rest. From this principal tinge, as ex hibited in action, the parent judges Of the inﬂu ence of the master passion of the heart, and of its effect upon the Character, when wrought up and associated, when blended and amalgamated with every thought and feeling; and from this judgment forms her indications for the particular plan Of treatment. This predominating charac ter has a tendency to prejudice the mind, to cause it to see through its own medium, and to repre sent things which are not as though they were; and things which are, under distorted or imagina tive forms; thus directly leading to error Of opinion, and obliquity Of conduct.
